This series includes the minutes from the Board of Managers of St. Luke's Hospital. It also includes a folder with a "General Index to Book of Minutes, St. Luke's Hospital, 1850 May 16 1870 Apr 25," which sums up significant events from the minutes in that time frame. In 1953 St. Luke's Hospital and the Woman's Hospital in the State of New York merged and the Board of Managers was renamed the Board of Trustees. The first two volumes (1850-1892) include indices. Minutes dated November 1965 to January 1974 may include Board of Trustee Executive Committee meeting minutes. In 1979 St. Luke's Hospital Center and Roosevelt Hospital merged and Board of Trustee meeting minutes after October 1979 would be found under the St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center series.
